This trial investigates whether a sterile gauze infused with natural plant extracts can reduce bacteria on the eyelid margin in people with bilateral anterior blepharitis. Each participant receives the plant-based gauze on one eye and a standard gauze on the other, allowing direc…

This study tests two types of light therapy—low-level light and intense pulse light—to kill Demodex mites that cause eyelid inflammation (blepharitis). 88 adults with confirmed mite infections will receive one of four treatments: sham, blue light alone, IPL alone, or both. All wi…

This study tested whether cleaning the eyelids with wipes containing chlorhexidine can treat blepharitis caused by Demodex mites. 106 adults with the condition used the wipes twice daily for four weeks. Researchers measured mite counts and eyelash debris before and after treatmen…

This study tested whether a steroid eye drop (fluorometholone) given for four weeks after trachoma surgery could stop eyelashes from growing back and rubbing against the eye. Over 2,400 people aged 15 and older took part. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost addition to s…

This study tested whether a drug called moxidectin, combined with other medicines, works better than the standard treatment (ivermectin combinations) for lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic disease that can cause severe swelling. 164 adults with the infection received a single dose…

This massive study tested whether giving deworming medicine (albendazole) to everyone in a community, not just children, can break the cycle of soil-transmitted worm infections. Over 350,000 people in India, Malawi, and Benin took part. The goal was to see if treating entire vill…

This study tested an eyedrop called TP-03 in 39 people with meibomian gland dysfunction (a common cause of dry eye) linked to Demodex mites. The goal was to compare two dosing schedules (twice vs. three times daily) for safety and effectiveness. The results could lead to a new tr…

This study tested a non-invasive imaging device called dermal optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) to diagnose basal cell carcinoma (a common skin cancer) around the eye area. Researchers compared its accuracy to standard biopsy results in 210 adults with suspected lesions. The g…

This trial tests whether a telemedicine follow-up — a simple online survey with photos and a vision check — can safely replace the first in-person visit after low-risk eyelid procedures like droopy eyelid repair or skin cancer removal. Adults undergoing these surgeries will eithe…

This study tests whether wearing a compression dressing for 24 hours after upper eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) reduces swelling, bruising, and pain. Each participant has both eyelids operated on; one eye gets the dressing, the other does not. Masked observers assess recover…

This study looked at whether a food safety training program helps food service employees improve their knowledge, attitudes, and practices around safe food handling. About 200 adult workers took part, and the training covered personal hygiene and safe food preparation. The goal w…
